Potential Architecture

Ambika P3 commissioned four artists and architects for an exhibition that indirectly respond to a growing critique on the negative effects of property speculation.

“Potential Architecture” fuses art and architecture in four site-specific commissions for Ambika P3 by artists and architects Alexander Brodsky, Sean Griffiths, Joar Nango and Apolonija Šušterŝič.

Utilising recycling, craft, and low-tech processes as well as performance, video, sculpture and installation, the works explore the social and material aspects of living environments during the unprecedented large-scale transformation of cities and towns globally.

“Potential Architecture” draws on the interconnected histories and cultures of renowned practitioners from Russia, Slovenia, Norway and the UK working at the increasingly diverging interface of art and architecture.

Each has an interdisciplinary practice that enables heightened responses to ideas of how communities evolve, how social spaces are used and buildings made. Cultivating new ideas and alternative approaches around the built environment, their commissions for the exhibition indirectly respond to a growing critique on the negative effects of property speculation.
